Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve, able to perform multiple functions and applicable to systems which are subject to intense variations in pressure such as boilers which are exposed to frequent stoppages with cooling, and constitutes an improvement to the device for self-priming, under backpressure conditions, vibration pumps, which is covered by Industrial Utility Model No. 0,215,741 filed on 3/3/1989 in the name of the Applicants of the present application.
  • the present invention is intended for this purpose and consists of a device which performs the multiple functions of self-priming of the pump, compensation of negative pressure inside the boiler and protection of the latter against overpressure, said device comprising a non-return valve and an air release valve situated upstream of the nonreturn valve, characterized in that a discharge pipe of the air release valve terminates above the surface of the water contained in a tank for reserve of supply water, in that this valve, in addition to opening completely in order to release the air externally in the event of re-priming of the pump, is also able to admit a flow of air from the outside towards the boiler so as to allow compensation of the negative pressure in said boiler without drawing water from the tank.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that an externally discharging safety valve is installed downstream of the non-return valve.
  • the safety valve discharges into the same discharge pipe as the air release valve.
  • the valve which opens completely in order to release the air, in the event of re-priming of a pump, and is also able to admit a flow of air from the outside to the boiler, consists of a plug provided at a first end located towards the central axis of the device with a recess which favours the through-flow of air.
  • this recess is formed by a cylindrical cavity coaxial with the plug, directed towards the inside of the device and provided with at least one incision connecting the cavity to the periphery of the plug.
  • the incisions are two in number.
  • the incisions are three in number.
  • the safety valve which is installed downstream of the non-return valve, is formed by a cylindrical seat which is provided with a narrow hole communicating with the said downstream zone and kept closed by a ball pushed by a spring calibrated in accordance with a safety pressure.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional side view of an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a plug present in the valve for releasing air and compensating for the negative pressure of the device according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view along the line 3-3 of Figure 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows an example of a possible application of the device according to the invention to a large-size boiler for generating steam for domestic use.
  • a device 10 consists of a central body 12 which has, formed in it, two cylindrical cavities 14 and 16 which are coaxial, but have different diameters.
  • the cylindrical cavity 14, which has a smaller diameter, is connected directly to the delivery outlet of a pump (shown by way of example in Figure 4), while the cavity 16, which has a larger diameter, is connected to a delivery pipe, for example leading into a boiler, as shown in
  • the two cylindrical cavities 14 and 16 are connected together by means of a non-return valve 18.
  • the non-return valve 18 consists of a mushroom-shaped plug 20, the semi-spherical bottom part of which rests against a seat formed in the top end of the cylindrical cavity 14 with a smaller diameter.
  • the cylindrical cavity 14 which has a smaller diameter communicates with a valve 26 which is arranged transversely and is formed by two cylindrical cavities 28 and 30 which have different diameters and are connected in series and the larger one 28 of which contains a plug 32 sliding inside it and opposed by a spring 34 which rests against the bottom of the larger cavity 28.
  • the plug 32 terminates at an outer end in a conical tip 36 and at an inner end in a cavity 38 connected externally by three incisions 40a, 40b and 40c.
  • the cylindrical cavity 16 with the larger diameter communicates with a lateral cylindrical cavity 42 composed of two cylindrical cavities 44 and 46 which have different diameters and are connected in series and the larger one 44 of which contains a safety valve 48 formed by a ball 50 which rests pressed by a spring 52 against a hole 54 communicating with the cavity 16.
  • the smaller cylindrical cavity 46 acts as a discharge for the safety valve 48.
  • the two cylindrical cavities 30 and 46 are formed in a single connection-piece 56 which is to be connected to a pipe which is shown in Figure 4.
  • FIG 4 shows a system 60 comprising a large-size boiler 62 which is supplied with water by a vibration pump 64 having at its outlet the device 10 according to the present invention.
  • the boiler 62 is of the conventional type provided with a resistance heater 66 connected to an electrical supply network 68 by means of one of the usual thermostats which enable the temperature of the water inside the boiler 62 to be kept at a stable value.
  • the pump 64 is also connected to the same electrical supply network 68 by means of a pressure switch or a liquid level indicator, which are also usual.
  • the pump 64 draws via a pipe 70 from a tank 72 containing a reserve water supply for the boiler 62 and conveys water to the boiler 62 by means of a delivery pipe 74.
  • a pipe 76 is also branched from the device 10 and is engaged via a cover 78 with the connection-piece 56 which can be seen in Figure 1 and receives the outputs from the cavities 30 and 46.
  • the operation of the invention can be easily understood with reference to all the figures.
  • the pump 64 If the pump 64 is unprimed, activation thereof causes the expulsion, from it, of the air at a pressure sufficient to overcome partially the force of the spring 34 so as to displace the plug 32 away from the bottom of the cavity 28 and allow the air to escape from the cavity 30 to the pipe 76, the discharge outlet of which is situated inside the tank 72 above the surface of the water contained therein.
  • a need for water inside the boiler 62 is satisfied by the pump 64 which closes the vent and compensation valve 26, allowing opening of the non-return valve 18 and the flow of water into the boiler 62.
  • the invention expects the use of the safety valve 48 which is installed close to the breather valve 26 and connected to the tank 72 by means of the discharge pipe 76 for two reasons: firstly, for a cost-related and space-saving reason, because it allows the safety valve 48 to be incorporated in the same device 10 without having to install a safety valve at another point, which would involved extra work and space; secondly, because any steam which is released due to operation of safety valve is cooled in the mass of water inside the tank 72, resulting in a reduction in its temperature and the associated dangers.
  • the number of incisions 40a-c around the cavity 38 may be less than or greater than that shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the safety valve 42 could have a discharge pipe separate from the pipe 76 which also serves the release and compensation valve 26.
  • the safety valve 42 instead of comprising a ball 50 seated in the cavity 44, may also comprise a known other closing element, different from a ball, which is seated in a corresponding cavity.

L'invention concerne un dispositif applicable aux pompes à vibrations, remplissant diverses fonctions d'amorçage automatique, de compensation de la pression négative et de protection contre les surpressions. Ledit dispositif comprend un corps (12) contenant un clapet (18) de non-retour, une valve (26) permettant de libérer l'air et de compenser la pression négative, et une soupape (48) de sûreté permettant l'évacuation des surpression accidentelles se formant à l'intérieur d'un système tel qu'une chaudière (62) desservie par le clapet (18). En particulier, la valve (26), destinée à compenser la pression négative, comprend un obturateur (32) équipé de moyens (40a-c) favorisant la circulation d'air extérieur dans le système soumis à une pression négative.
